No way Nintendo would do something this basic as an official successor. It would be the most un-Nintendo thing of all time and make me legit concerned for their future. Seems far more likely it’s the long rumored switch pro that ended up getting scrapped.

They've kind of done it already in a time where innovation was much easier and more meaningful. NES to SNES.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. SNES remains my favourite Nintendo console. And as a 3rd party player first, the Switch 2 (or Super Switch) may match or beat it for me (unless nostalgia intervenes, and it will lol).

I think a truly innovative console would require expensive additional hardware like VR which remains clunky, uncomfortable, and hard to get into.

Nintendo will still innovate via accessories, and if the main accessory finds success and momentum, they might standardize it in their next console.

The smart play for Nin would be follow how SNY approached VR or the Portal. Keep making the Switch type hybrid as your main device, and use those gargantuan profits to try other wild/innovative ideas.

If those wild/innovative ideas fail, then oh well. If they succeed, then put more focus on it and build off of it if possible, while maintaining the hybrid. Only move on from the hybrid if you've struck gold again with another product that can sustain profits like the hybrid did.
